Lingnan Gang

"Boss, did you not rest last night?" Yin Buzai asked knowingly.

Wu Weiyang was paralyzed on the grand teacher's chair, there was a blue mark under his eyes, normally, he would have jumped up and kicked Yin Bulai for a while, but now he just turned his head and hummed a few words.

The generals in the army came to the camp one after another, Su Bei Qin was discussing something with Gao Chengping, walked in with a smile while talking, raised his head, and saw Wu Weiyang, who looked like he was dying, challenged without a trace. I rolled my eyes.

Wu Weiyang immediately straightened his back, straightened his messy clothes, coughed lightly and said, "Yin is not here, I ordered you to bring someone to find water yesterday, what's the matter?"

"I found a stream, but it's a long way. I'm afraid I have to drive people to fetch water every morning." Yin Buzai replied.

Wu Weiyang propped his chin in one hand, and knocked on the table, "You can arrange this matter, but you can't quench your thirst in the long run. Everyone knows that it is difficult to win a complete victory in this battle, so what can you do?"

The generals looked at each other, and Ji Baichuan took the lead and said: "Judging from yesterday's battle, elite soldiers are elite soldiers, but whether it is formation changes or reactions, they are slightly lacking. It should be a problem with Zhao Qichuan's command. We occupy the mountains on both sides. Going down from the high mountains at both ends, flanking Zhao Qichuan from left to right, and being attacked on both flanks at the same time, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."

Gao Chengping shook his head and said: "The left and right pincers should be taken by surprise, the effect is the best, but any general with a bit of brain knows to take precautions before they happen, not to mention that our advantage is too obvious, it is impossible for Zhao Qichuan not to strengthen the troops on the two wings, and we can't take it by force." .”

Wu Weiyang had a warm smile on his face, "Attacking left and right is a good way, but what Taiping said is also reasonable."

Everyone didn't know what Wu Weiyang meant for a while, so they could only look at him, waiting for his next words, but Wu Weiyang didn't continue, but asked: "Master Lin, how much saltpeter is left?"

Lin Qingtang is the master in charge of forging weapons, and he is usually only busy in the smelting room, but now he was suddenly pulled by Yin Buzai to discuss important military affairs, and he felt uncomfortable sitting with a group of generals as a craftsman. Hearing Wu Weiyang's question, he hurriedly replied, "There are still five large boxes. If we want to attack the city with flint, I'm afraid there are too few."

"What about making firecrackers?" Wu Weiyang gestured with both hands, "It's the same as the firecrackers set off in our village during the New Year. The sound is so loud that it can be heard across the mountains, and it can be set off for half a moment without stopping to smoke."

Lin Qingtang didn't expect that Wu Weiyang would ask this question. Before he could turn his head around, he stood there in a daze, and everyone with him also widened their eyes, looking at Wu Weiyang in bewilderment.

"Master Lin, don't panic," Su Bei Qin Rou said, "Just answer the general's question truthfully."

Lin Qingtang bowed his head and muttered some calculations, and replied: "Maybe we can make more than 700 strings."

Wu Weiyang nodded, "That's enough, you can go back and do it now, I will use it in two days."

Lin Qingtang also flew out, he got away, leaving behind a group of generals who didn't know why.

"Commander..."

Before a young general could say anything, Wu Weiyang turned his head and stared at him with a smile, "Hey, I heard that your family used to sell coir raincoats?"

It was the young general's turn to stand there in a daze, with his mouth slightly open and his face blank.

"How much do you remember about the craft of weaving coir raincoats?"

The smile on Wu Weiyang's face made people get goosebumps, and the young general shook his body, as if shaking off the goosebumps, "I still remember."

"That's right," Wu Weiyang rubbed his chin, "You go to the army and pick a hundred or so people with good craftsmanship, and then go to the back mountain to gather some vines and leaves, weave hundreds of coir raincoats overnight, I will use them in two days. "

The rest of the people did not dare to speak easily, for fear that if they spoke, Wu Weiyang would assign them strange errands. Wu Weiyang glanced at everyone's faces, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth were faintly visible, "Don't be nervous, all of you should relax."

Everyone was still sitting upright, but they kept looking at Su Beiqin from the corner of their eyes. Wu Weiyang treated Su Beiqin very favorably, so at this time they had no choice but to push out Su Beiqin to block the knife.

Su Beiqin couldn't help it, coughed lightly and said, "Master, is there any other arrangement?"

"Well," Wu Weiyang rolled his eyes, "I almost forgot about the business, Tianhe Baichuan, you two go to guard the mountains, those two mountains are vital to the life and death of the entire army, if you can't defend the mountains, you two don't come back."

"Yes," Jiang Tianhe nodded emphatically, "If you can't hold the mountain, I'll come and see you."

"But don't start a direct confrontation with them. If they attack you, defend them. Don't attack them when they retreat. Don't go down the mountain without orders." , you all go back and rest."

Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, Wu Weiyang didn't want to say more, and it was inconvenient for them to ask further questions, so they had to reply to their own accounts and wait for news.

After everyone dispersed, Su Beiqin sat beside Wu Weiyang from a little distance away, "What kind of medicine do you sell in this gourd?"

Wu Weiyang whispered to Su Beiqin's ear mysteriously for a while, then retreated, and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Su Beiqin's eyes lit up, but his tone was a little uncertain, "Can it work?"

Wu Weiyang leaned back in the chair, stretched his muscles and bones, and said with a smile: "Bei Qin has always been better at judging people than I am. If you give me an analysis, what kind of person is Zhao Qichuan?"

Su Beiqin pondered for a moment, "I have never been in contact with him, nor have I heard any rumors about him, so I dare not make a judgment lightly, I can only make a little analysis. The city of Ezhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Calculated by self-sufficiency, it can last for a year or two. The general generals would choose to stick to the city, but Zhao Qichuan wanted to intercept and kill halfway, but he was a brave man. It’s not enough, he is brave but not resourceful, and his action this time is to obey the order of the traitor to make a quick decision, which shows that he is too eager for quick success.”

Wu Weiyang yawned, "I think your analysis is good. His attacking methods are not very good, his reaction is slow, and his troops are not properly deployed. Only the last counterattack reverses the previous routine, which is eye-catching."

"You mean, the counterattack was not done by Zhao Qichuan?"

Wu Weiyang took advantage of the situation and leaned on Su Beiqin's shoulder, squinted his eyes and said vaguely: "Probably not, it is precisely because he is afraid of this person that he did not pursue the victory."

Su Beiqin's shoulders sank, and he looked down. Wu Weiyang fell asleep in this awkward position. To be honest, this sleeping posture was really indecent, like a child of seven or eight years old, with his mouth still slightly open, just in time. Muttering a few vague words, it turned out to be the name of the food upon careful listening. Su Beiqin just wanted to laugh.

The weather was getting colder, Su Beiqin wanted to get a thin quilt for Wu Weiyang, but he was afraid of waking him up, so he had to pull his clothes tighter, Wu Weiyang babbled, grabbed his wrist and pulled it into his sleeve Not moving anymore, Su Beiqin paused, his long eyelashes slightly lowered, and gently held Wu Weiyang's hand.
